Onyekachi Okonkwo returns to Switzerland

Nigerian midfielder Onyekachi Okonkwo has a move back to Europe lined up for him following the non-renewal of his contract at Mpumalanga Black Aces.

Okonkwo has temporarily travelled back home to Nigeria from where he is now awaiting the issuing of his Schengen visa that will allow him to travel to Switzerland, where he is believed to have a deal lined up with one of the clubs there.

The 33-year-old has previously played for Swiss club FC Zurich, winning the Swiss Super League in 2009 before he moved to Qatar the following year.

KickOff.com has been informed that Okonkwo is at peace with the decision reached by Aces and has switched his thoughts to moving back to Switzerland.

Okonkwo started 18 games in each of the two seasons he spent at Aces after joining from Orlando Pirates and was AmaZayoni’s most creative player last season, notching up seven assists.
